Sin embargo, la administraci\u00f3n Trump ha estado en una b\u00fasqueda para recopilar estas bases de datos para armar su propio archivo maestro de votantes, una medida que\u00a0<\/span>amenaza la integridad de nuestras elecciones<\/span><\/b>\u00a0y\u00a0<\/span>riesgos de privar del derecho al voto<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>muchos estadounidenses<\/span><\/b>\u00a0de cara a las elecciones de mitad de mandato de 2026.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

La resistencia del secretario Bill Galvin a "nacionalizar" los datos de los votantes de Massachusetts.<\/h2>\r\nLa mayor\u00eda de estos estados, incluido Massachusetts, se han resistido a la presi\u00f3n del Departamento de Justicia para entregar los datos de los votantes.\u00a0<\/span>El secretario de la Commonwealth, Bill Galvin, rechaz\u00f3 la demanda.<\/span><\/a>, diciendo que no tiene \u201cabsolutamente ninguna intenci\u00f3n\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>de entregar datos confidenciales al gobierno federal, y que el Departamento de Justicia "no ha proporcionado ninguna justificaci\u00f3n significativa para necesitar acceso a la informaci\u00f3n personal identificable de cada votante de Massachusetts".\u201c<\/span>\u00a0Ahora, se encuentran entre los varios estados demandados por el registro de votantes.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0por la administraci\u00f3n Trump. En respuesta, Common Cause ha presentado mociones para intervenir en varias de estas demandas. Nuestra moci\u00f3n en Massachusetts fue aceptada.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 sigue en este caso?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\nDe cara al futuro, la Mancomunidad de Massachusetts, Common Cause y sus socios buscan que se desestime esta demanda, lo que supondr\u00eda el rechazo al intento de la administraci\u00f3n Trump de recopilar estos datos confidenciales.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
